In downtown Oklahoma City, fans and visitors alike can find one of the city’s most recognizable buildings; the Chesapeake Energy Arena. This multi-purpose arena is known for hosting a number of entertainment events, but is primarily known for being the home of the city’s NBA team the Oklahoma City Thunder. The center was previously known as the Ford Center and for a year, the Oklahoma City Arena, but is now under the name of Chesapeake; a local energy company. Even with all of the different name changes many fans still refer to the arena as either “Loud City,” “The Thunderdome” or “The Peake.” The center was first opened in 2002 and since then has created a strong presence within the Oklahoma City community.
